During his long career in the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Adam Quirk has primarily served as a diversion investigator, which is an investigator who looks into cases where legal deliveries of drugs are diverted to criminals before they get to their destination, like a pharmacy, hospital, clinic or treatment center. Because of his investigatory skills, Adam was often a team leader on long-term investigations.

At the DEA, Adam Quirk also conducted numerous security assessments for all sorts of DEA registrants, including manufacturers, distributors and treatment center personnel. Besides the DEA, Adam has worked in criminal justice and law enforcement at nearly every level, in both the public and the private sectors. He has investigated almost everything imaginable, including multi-jurisdictional and complex drug and violent crimes. Adam Quirk has also managed to execute hundreds of warrants, and he has conducted thousands of interrogations and screening interviews throughout the United States, as a function of his many security positions within the U.S. government. As much as he has done, however, Adam is always eager to keep up to date with his profession and he reads everything he can get his hands on and engages in continued law enforcement training.

Many people who have dealt with him over the years tend to describe Adam Quirk as a highly experienced and wise criminal justice professional. However, when they do so, they essentially leave out most of the story. Over the past 15 years or so, Adam Quirk has committed himself to a first-class career in criminal justice, a commitment that stemmed from the terrorist attacks in New York, Washington, DC and Pennsylvania on Sept. 11, 2001.

It was in the wake of that tragedy that led Adam Quirk to take a job conducting thorough background investigations of applicants and candidates to hold the important post-9th/11 post of Air Marshal. They needed to have high-level security clearances, so Adam Quirk himself performed thousands of in-person interviews of potential candidates as a part of his duties as part of a team charged with keeping the air traffic system safe. His completion rate in a division that was one of the best in the country drew accolades from his higher-ups, which means Adam Quirk played a significant role in making sure those assigned with keeping the nation safe were up to the job.

Soon after that, Adam Quirk began a long career with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), where he was as a diversion investigator. That means he worked with teams of criminal justice and law enforcement professionals who investigated cases in which controlled drugs that were on their way to pharmacies, hospitals or other legal sellers were instead diverted to criminals who wanted to sell them illegally for a profit. At the DEA, he also conducted a large number of security assessments for DEA registrants, who wanted to prescribe and sell controlled substances legally.

To describe Adam Quirk as an accomplished and experienced criminal justice professional is to tell only part of the story. For more than 15 years now, he has been committed to a career in criminal justice. The impetus for this was the terrorist attacks in New York, Virginia and Pennsylvania on Sept. 11, 2001. That’s when he started conducting thorough background investigations of applicants and candidates to be Air Marshals.

Back in 2004, Adam Quirk started working with the Drug Enforcement Administration as a Diversion investigator. In this position, he worked on teams that investigated the diversion of controlled substances, which is roundabout way of saying that he investigated cases where drugs were supposed to go to pharmacies, hospitals or other legal sellers, but someone took them before they arrived. Because of the investigatory experience he had to date, Adam was often a team leader for long-term drug investigations. He also conducted numerous security assessments for all sorts of DEA registrants, including drug manufacturers, distributors and treatment center personnel.
